Berberine is a darling of the gut health world!

It's found in plants like Barberry and this Oregon Grape (Berberis aquifolium) - but not in the "grapes" you see in the fall - it's in the bright yellow bark of the plant's roots!

...berberine significantly affects blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, blood lipids, body parameters and composition, inflammatory markers, colorectal adenomas, and Helicobacter pylori infections as compared to controls.  (1)

Because berberine alone has also been found to trigger constipation, this study demonstrates a solution with quercitin! (2)

Fortunately, quercitin is found in many delicious foods.

Here are 3 easy sources of quercetin that contain a host of additional beneficial polyphenols to feed your happy gut microbes:  

  Cardamom (3)  

  Capers (4)

  Cloves (5)

If you're struggling with constipation and taking berberine, talk to your practitioner.

Constipation has many triggers, and it's important to learn how yours.

I hope this helps!
